History Characters / WastelandRecurringCharacters

* TheCollector: He ''loves'' old video games, and will pay a bounty if you can find him an intact UsefulNotes/PhilipsCDi in the second game.

* ShoutOut: His other reason to exist. Some of the games he's collected include things like a [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem Nintendo Super Scope]].

[[folder: Quarex]]

* AffablyEvil: Polite and friendly, even if he thinks you're making a threat - and unlike his subordinate [[ViolentGlaswegian McTavish]], [[spoiler: Brygo isn't involved in the Dorsey attack on Colorado Springs. He even ordered McTavish to ''not'' work with the Dorseys, albeit for the practical reason that it would destroy his business rather than any morals.]]

* BadassInANiceSuit: Brygo can fight the player in both of his appearances, and he does it both times in a lovely suit.

See the main index for the series [[Characters/{{Wasteland}} here]].

* {{Nerd}}: A nervous loner who loves old world video games.

* GuestStarPartyMember: Never controllable by the player, but seems content to accompany them and blast away at things with his absurdly powerful handgun.

A weird, horrifying creature that shows up in Wasteland and Wasteland 2. In Wasteland, it's a powerful enemy within the Mind Maze, implied by Finster to be the player's childhood bogeyman; in Wasteland 2, it's a prisoner in Darwin Village who will tag along and fight beside Team Echo if they free it.

* CallBack: The Night Terror's very appearance in ''Wasteland 2'' is a callback to its presence in ''Wasteland'', obviously, but a more subtle one is where it's found. In ''Wasteland 2'', the Night Terror is found (under heavy guard and lock) in Darwin Village; in the first Wasteland, while the Night Terror could only be found in Finster's Mind Maze, the only other enemy that used its sprite, the Night Screamer, was only found in Darwin.

* CuteMonster: Especially in ''2''. It's extremely weird-looking, but it seems so friendly that it's kind of... cute, even when asking for "candy" - i.e. ''meat.''
* GuestStarPartyMember: Can't join the party officially in ''Wasteland 2'', but will follow them and act as a computer-controlled assistant - one who's useful for a bunch of reasons, primarily its massive health pool ('''8000''' HP).

* NightmareWeaver: In ''Wasteland'' as part of [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind the Mind Maze]], it is apparently ''literally'' [[NightmareFuel the stuff bad dreams are made of]][[invoked]]; as in Finster claims ''he lurked under your bed.''

* ShoutOut: Yells the "I'm helping!" quote from ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'' when fighting in ''Wasteland 2''.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: For a guy who has so much trouble keeping his subordinates in line,

* Nerd: A nervous loner who loves old world video games.

* NightmareWeaver: In ''Wasteland'' as part of [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind the Mind Maze]], it is apparently ''literal'' NightmareFuiel[[invoked]]; as in Finster claims ''he lurked under your bed.''

* ActionDad: Able and willing to fight an entire team of Rangers with [[DualWielding two tommy guns]]; also the father of Marie Brygo, a possible squad member in ''Wasteland 2''. She's one of the three characters that can replace a player-made party member if they die, alongside La Loca and Rook, though unlike them she doesn't return for ''Wasteland 3''.
* AffablyEvil: Polite and friendly, even if he thinks you're making a threat- and unlike his subordinate [[ViolentGlaswegian McTavish]], [[spoiler: Brygo isn't involved in the Dorsey attack on Colorado Springs. He even ordered McTavish to ''not'' work with the Dorseys, albeit for the practical reason that it would destroy his business rather than any morals.]]

* GuestStarPartyMember: Can't join the party officially in ''Wasteland 2'', but will follow them and act as a computer-controlled assistant- one who's useful for a bunch of reasons, primarily its massive health pool ('''8000''' HP).
* MadeOfExplodium: Bizarre example. If dropped to 75% or so CON in Wasteland 2, the Night Terror will explode, damaging anything around it and leaving a huge pile of junk items.

* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Finster claims it was literally the monster under your bed in ''Wasteland''. In ''Wasteland 2'', it seems to just be one of his mutant experiments... maybe?...

A recurring mob boss, straight from the golden days of made men and wise guys. In Wasteland, he is one of the crime lords fighting over Vegas; in Wasteland 3, he's relocated to Colorado, running a nightclub called the Little Vegas, adding a dash of desert flair to the snowy mountains of Colorado.

* ActionDad: Able and willing to fight an entire team of Rangers with [[DualWielding two tommy guns]]; also the father of Marie Brygo, a possible squad member in Wasteland 2. She's one of the three characters that can replace a player-made party member if they die, alongside La Loca and Rook, though unlike them she doesn't return for Wasteland 3.
* AffablyEvil: Polite, friendly, even if he thinks you're making a threat- and unlike his subordinate [[ViolentGlaswegian McTavish]], [[spoiler: Brygo isn't involved in the Dorsey attack on Colorado Springs. He even ordered McTavish to ''not'' work with the Dorseys, albeit for the practical reason that it would destroy his business rather than any morals.]]

** In Wasteland 3, this is exaggerated to fit the ''entire'' Little Vegas nightclub, as can be seen on any route in which the player make a deal with Brygo. During the battle with Marshal Lipinski that ensues, ''every single one'' of Brygo's employees will join in on the player's side. The standouts are the Blackjack dealer and the Roulette croupier; both are in suits, and join in the fight by first downing a beer for the buff and then laying into the corrupt cops with GoodOldFisticuffs.
* CreatorCameo: Kind of. While it can be assumed that Brian Fargo is not a real-life mafioso, Faran Brygo's name is an obvious anagram of the Wasteland project leader.

* EvilRedhead: Evil- if not that evil- but ''very'' red-headed.

* Neighborhood-Friendly Gangsters: How Brygo acts in general. He's very affable and quite willing to cut a mutually-beneficial deal with the Rangers.
* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: In the first game, the password into his hideout is Kestrel. In Wasteland 3, the password that allows access to his club's computer system is [[CallBack also Kestrel.]]

* SurroundedByIdiots: In Wasteland 3 this becomes an incredibly inconvenient problem for the man. While Brygo himself is reasonable and competent, the frank truth is that nearly every named subordinate he has manages to make his life harder. [[spoiler: Ken Doll immediately betrays him for the chepa sum of $100 Colorado dollars, Charley has thrown a spark at the powder keg that is Brygo's relationship with the Marshals by capturing one and locking him up in his club, and McTavish let the Dorseys into town despite Brygo's orders, resulting in massive amounts of death and destruction, not least of which is Lucia's entire family save her father. This last one can get him imprisoned by the Marshals, which is effectively a death sentence, or shot up by Team November.]]

* AscendedExtra: From a late-game powerful enemy to a possible companion to the player party.
* CallBack: The Night Terror's very appearance in Wasteland 2 is a callback to its presence in Wasteland, obviously, but a more subtle one is where it's found. In Wasteland 2, the Night Terror is found (under heavy guard and lock) in Darwin Village; in the first Wasteland, while the Night Terror could only be found in Finster's Mind Maze, the only other enemy that used its spright, the Night Screamer, was only found in Darwin.
* CreepyDoll: The Night Terror has a doll with it in its sprite for Wasteland. In Wasteland 2, its official art has it clutching the same doll. This ties into both its possible nature as a childhood bogeyman in Wasteland, and its strangely child-like nature in Wasteland 2.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Can't join the party officially in Wasteland 2, but will follow them and act as a computer-controlled assistant- one who's useful for a bunch of reasons, primarily its massive HP pool.

* NightmareFuel: Sweet goodness. In Wasteland, it is apparently ''literal'' NightmareFuel; Finster claims ''he lurked under your bed.''
* ObliviouslyEvil: Comes off as this in Wasteland 2. It wants "candy"- which is, very worryingly, flesh items of any kind- and is clearly a capable combatant and killer... but it ''just'' wants candy, never attacks the party unless they attack it, and seems eager to assist the player.
* ShoutOut: Yells the "I'm helping!" quote from Sealab 2021 when fighting in Wasteland 2.
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Finster claims it's this in Wasteland. In Wasteland 2, it seems to just be one of his mutant experiments... maybe?...
* UglyCute: Especially in 2. It's extremely weird-looking, but it seems so friendly that it's kind of... cute, even when asking for "candy"- i.e. ''meat.''

A harmless, friendly nerd who loves ancient video games, appearing in Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 3. His almost total lack of self-preservation or common sense in the name of his hobby has led him to more than a few incidents that require Ranger assistance- usually in the form of retrieving the objects of his obsession through violence.

* CallBack: Exists primarily to do this. He even has a museum in 3 dedicated to old world artifacts that includes some stuff from prior games in the series.
* ShoutOUt: His other reason to exist. Some of the games he has include things like The Bard's Tale.

A bizarre, white-suited fellow who speaks only in Latin. Shows up in Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 3.

* BadassInANiceSuit: Low HP and armor, but his handgun is incredibly strong.

* HandCannon: Whatever his gun is, and whatever he loads it with, it sure as shit packs a punch. This is downplayed in 3, but in 2, he can carry a low-level party through battles with mutants. He fares less well with humans, who tend to outrange him.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Everything about the guy is this. [[spoiler: Even during the ceremony in Wasteland 3, you don't learn anything, so much as you are left with a better basis for your future questions.]]
* RecurringTraveler: Keeps showing up in weird-ass places.
